Default Vent window question

Hello. New guy here with '68 Mustang coupe.
I am missing something on the vent window. I know about the 3 fasteners/adjusters on the left side. I have a bolt for the right side but there is nothing to screw it to just a hole. All the parts places do not show anything to put in the big hole. The Body Assembly Manual shows a threaded hole like the Like the bolt on the left top.

What am I missing?

It the 4 leaf clover that I am asking about. I have the bolt, but no nut?

Looks like if the hole is not threaded you might have a problem. Here is the fastener list from The Vintage Mustang forum:


And this video is mind numbingly long, but he mentions the fastener at about 2:30 minutes in and then again at about 22:00 minutes, but conveniently the fastener is magically in without being on the video:

Seem it should be threaded since the new bolt set only has the long bolt, short bolt and 2 adjustable bolts.
I did some searching for a new RH vent window. None are threaded.
I guess I will have to find a way to add a nut for that location.

Could you get a "Binding post" behind the hole? And if you can, maybe you could even find one in the thread size you need.

I will try Colorado Mustang. They say they are the largest Mustang Graveyard.
The other option is weld a nit to large washer and hold it here with some double sided tape.

THANKS FOR YOU HELP AND TIME.
